About

An archive of over 100 bagpipe tunes I have composed for bagpipes, available in a downloadable PDF book. The music in this work is original, save for a few arrangements of tunes that were fun to do, and fun to play. You can find out more about my other projects at: frasermartin.com.

Free E-Book

Music for the Great Highland Bagpipe by Fraser Martin is a free download. You will automatically receive the latest edition of the book by email and will be notified as more tunes are added or amendments made.

The tunes are a mixed bag, suitable for different levels of players. They were written with competition bands in mind, so the styles lean in that direction.

Project Completion 100%

100%

With the release of edition 4 (May 2023) the initial goal of this project has been reached. However, I have discovered some old material I wrote in the early days but have never typeset. Plus, I keep on writing new tunes. So there will likely be a few more editions to come.So, please join the mailing list to be notified when the tunes become available.
